Mission

Fellowship of the world's most eminent scientists and the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence. The Society has three roles: it is the UK academy of science promoting the natural and applied sciences, a learned society, and a funding agency.

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
